Taking Courses at Other U of T Campuses:


Transfer of Accommodations

In order to receive services and supports at another University of Toronto campus, you must contact your home campus
Accessibility/AccessAbility Services office so that they can forward your accommodations to the appropriate office.
Your home campus is defined as the campus to which you pay your tuition fees.
Given the different academic programs and services operating on each campus, there is some variation in how
accommodations are administered at each campus. You are required to attend an appointment with an Accessibility
Advisor/Disability Consultant on the alternate campus at which you are taking the course to ensure that you are
familiar with their procedures.
To implement your accommodations on another campus you must complete the instructions outlined below:

Instructions

1 Complete and submit the Taking Courses at Other U of T Campuses Form to your home campus
Accessibility Services office. (See contact information at the end of this section for your home
campus).

Once Accessibility Services receives this form from you, your Accessibility Advisor/Disability
Consultant from your home campus will work with you to come up with an accommodation plan for
the other campus, and will fax or scan your accommodations to the Accessibility Services office of
the appropriate campus.

2 A receptionist/administrative staff from the alternate U of T Campus you are taking the course at will
contact you directly regarding an appointment to meet with an Accessibility Advisor/Disability
Consultant, who will explain how accommodations are provided at that campus.
If you do not receive a call or e-mail from them, please follow up at the contact information for the
alternate U of T Campus below.

3 Attend your Intake Interview at the alternate U of T Campus.

Taking Courses at Other U of T Campuses:
Transfer of Accommodations

Accommodations

If you have specific course concerns, discuss this with the Accessibility Advisor/Disability Consultant at the campus where
the course is taking place. They will be more familiar with the campus and faculty.

If you would like to make any changes to your accommodations, you must speak to your home campus Accessibility
Advisor/Disability Consultant. All updates and/or changes would then be communicated by your home campus to your
Accessibility Advisor/Disability Consultant at the other disability office. (e.g., UTSG students taking a course at UTM should
speak to their UTSG Accessibility Advisor/Disability Consultant; UTM students taking a course at UTSG should speak to their
Accessibility Advisor/Disability Consultant at UTM, etc.)

Accommodations will apply only for the duration of the course(s) listed on the Transfer of Accommodation form. You will
need to complete a new transfer request each time you take a new course (or new courses) in a new term at another U of T
campus. New course(s) = New Accommodations.

Deadlines
Deadlines for accommodations are different on each campus. For example, due to the differing campus calendar dates for
when final exams are held, each campus has a different deadline to submit final exam accommodation requests.

• UTM Important Dates


• UTSC Important Dates
• UTSG Important Dates

It is very important to note that even though you may be taking a course at another campus, you must still adhere to the
academic and financial deadlines of your home campus. If you have questions, please speak to your Registrar’s Office.

Documentation

You are not required to re-submit medical documentation to other campus Accessibility Services offices. Your
documentation will be kept on file at your home campus. If you wish to discuss potential changes to your accommodations,
you will need to contact your home campus Accessibility Services office. All updates and changes will then be communicated
to the other Accessibility Services Office.

Financial Aid
If you need to submit a disability related bursary (e.g. OSAP, BSWD), you will need to speak with your home campus Financial
Aid office and primary Accessibility Advisor/Disability Consultant to discuss any disability-related funding.

Petitions
Students requesting a deferred examination due to a disability related barrier should consult with their Accessibility
Advisor/Disability Consultant at their home campus.

Notification on How Your Information Will Be Used
For Transfers of Accommodations

When you submit a Transfer of Accommodations request to Accessibility Services, your name and the paperwork you submit
will be entered into our database. Basic biographical, contact and academic information will be drawn from ROSI to facilitate
the transfer and begin the process of developing an accommodation plan for you on the campus where you are taking a
course(s) at.

Accessibility Services at your home campus collects medical documentation, information pertaining to your functional
limitations and your history of learning or personal circumstances for the following purposes:

• To verify the need for disability related accommodations for academic work; and

• To develop and implement effective disability related accommodations and supports

Accessibility Services respects your privacy and keeps your information confidential. Information may be shared with
university staff but only to bring the best resources to assist you and only on a need-to-know basis to perform their duties
and to provide academic or other disability related accommodations on campus.

Example:

• Test and exam accommodations will be shared with Accommodated Testing Services for invigilation

• Accessibility Advisors/Disability Consultants may speak to a professor, registrar or residence staff to arrange
accommodations and supports.

• When a student encounters difficulties that require attention from other University units, such as Student Progress or
Crisis Response, necessary information is shared with those units.

• Where students are a client with UofT Health & Wellness, Accessibility Advisors/Disability Consultants may speak with
your clinician to help clarify and implement various aspects of your accommodation plan.

To protect your information, all university staff receiving information follow University policies and guidelines, the Freedom of
Information and Protection of Privacy Act and other legal requirements.

If you have any questions regarding this form, please send an email to the Accessibility Services office. (See contact
information at the end of this section for your home campus). Your email will be forwarded to the Director or the Assistant
Director for follow up as soon as possible.
